Jean Noel Gagnard Hautes Cotes de Beaune Sous Equisons 2018

This is a lovely, focused, fresh white Burgundy with amazing precision. The matchstick mineral nose shows pure lemony fruit with a hint of florality. The palate is linear and precise with taut lemony fruit and a fine tangy, stony mineral quality.

There’s just the faintest hint of spicy, toasty oak, but the real theme here is pure, vital lemon fruit with great precision and lovely integrated acidity. This is just such a lovely wine, with more than a hint of Chablis to it. With its screwcap, this should age beautifully.
